MARTHA Stewart was a little lost while kicking off the Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
The self-described lifestyle expert nearly mistook what state she was in.
Martha was given the honor of declaring “Rider’s Up” at the annual horse race – the signal for jockeys to mount their steed’s and make their final preparations before the race.
“Racing fans from around the world,” she started successfully. “The city of Louisville, and the commonwealth of Connectic…”
The 82-year-old suddenly froze, realizing she was, indeed, not in Connecticut.
“I was going to say Connecticut!” she confessed with a grin, before composing herself and continuing. “Welcome you to the 150th anniversary race. Rider’s up!”
Social media naturally had a field day with the foul-up, with many wondering if Martha’s mistake may have been caused by some derby delights.
“I think Martha Stewart was hitting the mint julep!” one person tweeted on X, formerly Twitter.
“Martha Stewart is so drunk,” a second person echoed, “She thinks she’s in Connecticut instead of Kentucky.”
“Martha Stewart was hammered at the #KentuckyDerby,” another tweeted bluntly.
“Martha Stewart, you had one job today and it wasn’t in Connecticut,” a fourth sent.
However, there was no proof nor evidence Martha was even drinking at the event, and she didn’t immediately address the snafu.

MARTHA’S MOMENT
Martha is still turning heads at age 82.
Last month, she stunned guests while attended the Go Wild Planners Conference in Dallas, Texas.
The event brings together planners and creators for a weekend of meet-and-greets.
Shared on her Instagram, Martha posed for a quick selfie backstage while showing off her outfit of the day.
I was going to say Connecticut!”

MARTHA’S SECRET
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model previously shared her beauty secrets with her fanbase.
In April 2023, Martha took to Instagram and shared her trip to the salon.
“What the f are you doing? How are you looking this amazing?” a follower inquired.
“Eating very well. Pilates three times a week.” Martha replied.
“Horseback rides at least once a week.”
“No smoking. Little drinking Green juice daily,” she closed.
In May 2023, the cover model admitted to Variety how she hates Botox, but confessed to getting fillers.
“Every now and then, there are certain fillers that I can do for a little line here or there, but I hate Botox,” Martha shared.
“It’s a weird thing for me. I really and truly don’t do a lot.”
The reporter then pressed her about plastic surgery.
“I’ve had absolutely no plastic surgery whatsoever,” Martha told the outlet.
She credited a dedicated healthy regimen of drinking green juice daily, taking vitamins, eating healthy, and getting treated by good skin doctors.
Martha also admitted that she always wears sunscreen and hats whenever she steps outdoors.
